The Biodynamic Farming and Gardening Association is a non-profit organic gardening educational endeavor. Biodynamics views the farm, and to a lesser degree, the garden, as a dynamic, living organism. We minimize crop loss due to disease and pests by growing in healthy soil in a balanced, natural environment. We make extensive use of cover crops, crop rotations, herbs, compost, and compost teas to accomplish these ends.
The national headquarters for the Bio-Dynamic Farming and Gardening Association is located in Kimberton, Pennsylvania, PO. Box 550, 19442. They can be contacted by phone at (610) 935-7797, or fax (610) 983-3196.

PNW-Natives is a new mailing list for the discussion of wildlife gardening with pacific northwest native plants.I'm defining Pacific Northwest more narrowly than some who include everything north of San Francisco and west of the Rockies, which is an extremely diverse set of separate ecologies. I'm restricting the list to the more coastal areas, from Cook Inlet, Alaska to Eugene, Oregon north to south, and from the ridge of the Casacde and Coast ranges to the pacific ocean east to west. This region is quite varied enough, but is unified by the climate produced by the interactions between the ocean and the mountains.
Topics of conversation might include: where to buy native plants; announcements of plant sales; which native plants attract butterflies or birds; how to recreate a particular ecological niche such as a bog or a corner of moist forest; recommendations of particularly good field guides or other books; how to propagate particular plants; seed/plant exchanges; where's a good in-city nature walk.

The Square Foot Gardening listserv is for people who are using or interested in the home vegetable gardening methods described by Mel Bartholomew in his book, "Square Foot Gardening". The method is a combination of traditional techniques, but thinking in terms of planting in squares rather than rows.The list is open to anyone interested, but it is not intended to be an all-purpose gardening discussion list, but rather more focussed. Some issues covered include building raised beds, vertical training of vine plants, crop rotation, and intensive (closely spaced) planting.
